Yesterday afternoon, shortly ai.er
o'clock George Phelps, . colored "a'.eI
F;scher's restaurant on West broao""y'
got into m alteration with Sing Cnal'ey'
thu head cook. It arose from aome UTILIZE
causs. and from words the two came ~
blovs. James Mulock. another coloreo
waiter. came to Phelps assistance anu
Toone Mimi, the second cook. to thas o.
sins Charley. Plates were the weapons
used by the combatants. One OF 'ne
colored men raised q large dist ana
brought it down with both hands on sing
Charley's head and smashed the dish TO
fragments. He repeated this and the
result was that the unfortunate Mongoilan'e
scalp streamed with blood and the Kitchen
began to
RESEMBLE A SHAMELESS.
It wa all done so quickly that no n IN
tho restaurant realized the fact OF the
fracas until the worst was over. Mr..
Fischer got there just in time to save Sing
Charley from total annihilation ana
dragged Jim Mulock out of the kitchen by
the coat collar. The cook ran out OF the
kitchen the back way followed by his mate
who was also badly cut about the head
with plates, and re,ched his cabin in a nest
OF shanties between Park and Galena in
the rear OF the Newport saloon. There be
1880 nRko. a-hs1a hv a ronnrfar who
saw piles Of cloth saturated with clothed
gore that had
FLOWED IN 4 STREAM
from his wounds and led to the general i'm
preston that an artery had been c It, and
he would bleed to death. He was lying in
his bunk. and his whole head and face in a
bandage. The other vac able to stir
round, but looked very rueful with the
bandage about his skull, the clots OF blood
apparent on it. A Chinese doctor is at
tending them, and thinks Sing Charley will
be able to pull around eventually. The
others wounds are trifling in comparison.
Mufock aud Phelps left the restaurant i'm
mediately. The latter was arrested on the
street aoon after On q warrant sworn out
before Judge Lippincott and taken to Jail,
where he was liberated on giving a $1OO
bond. He had not been gone a quarter OF
an hour, when a
TELEPHONE MESSAGE
came to the Sheriff t O hold him in 81, 600
bond ,hs the Chinaman was dying. TheSher-
if sent q deputy out for him, and in short
while he was brought back and put in a
cell. jim Mulock made up his mind az
soon as he got out that Butte was not a
healthy climate for him any longer. so he
pursuaded a gentleman of his own race to
drive him down to Silver Bow. intending
to take the train there for lower attitudes.
Meanwhile the Sheriff had his deputies out
looking for him in every direction. and his
destination was sonn suspected. A tele'
phone message to the sylvan retreat put
the people there on the alert, which our
graphic correspondent there describes az
follows:
UNPARALLELED o
SILVER Bow, September 14.-[Special to
The M ner.]-Considerable excitement was
caused in our quiet little town this af,e
noon by the arrest of a negro. name I'm
known, who participated in the repor: ed
murder OF a Chinaman at Butte. On re.
ceipt of q telephone communication from
Sheriff Lloyd, Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.
Hickey secured a shotgun and an old
horse pistol, a relic OF our civil war, and
after a hard struggle captured him in the
waiting room OF the depot. Both of the
gentlemen tainted when, after the prisoner
was secured, it was ascertained the guns
were not loaded.
When the Sheriff arrived at the Silver
Bow depot the scene was truly graphic.
The prisoner, a fat, contented-lookine
negro. sat on a bench in a corner and his
two capto,s with weapons s~teadfastly
pointed at him preserved an attitude OF
immovable vigilance. The Sheriff hand
cuffed him and brought him to Jail where
he wat incarcerated about half-past 9
O'Clock.
